Sony confirms God of War Sons of Sparta for PS4 on November 16
Sony Interactive Entertainment has confirmed that God of War Sons of Sparta, the retro-styled Metroidvania about a teenage Kratos that launched as a PlayStation 5 exclusive after a February State of Play shadow-drop (the same stream that revealed the original trilogy is being remade), will arrive on PlayStation 4 at midnight local time on November 16. The same day, both PS4 and PS5 receive two extra modes. Hermes Mode is built for speedruns, with a split-based timer, a persistent scoreboard and related tools; it unlocks after a full playthrough or via the main-menu cheat Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, L1, R1, Touchpad. Erebus Mode makes Kratos and every enemy die in one hit; it is chosen when starting a new game and cannot be switched off afterward. The game is already out on PS5. Reception has been mixed, with a Metacritic Metascore of 64; Polygon’s review was more positive, arguing Mega Cat’s take is not the series’ most exciting chapter but carries enough emotional depth to work as a prequel.
